Be patient. Your beer will not get hot by being delayed by 15 seconds.
20 mph applies to public roads. I do not recall seeing that it applies to the MMPs.

Of course, since golf carts are not capable of exceeding 20mph one could consider it an effective speed limit. But, since there is no enforcement on the MMP there is no actual limit on the MMPs.

The diamond lanes are not MMPs. Most (all?) are on public roads so those laws apply.

I have seen the statute that requires giving bicycles three feet of space when passing. Please provide the citation of the Florida law that requires the same for golf carts or pedestrians.
